The <\/span>‘royal’ porcini mushrooms<\/b> grow in the more humid area of the Etna<\/strong> volcano, called Giarrita<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A very popular area for mushroom picking is the<\/span> Nebrodi Park<\/b>. This area is home to many different varieties of mushrooms, from boletus<\/strong> to the prized Caesar’s mushroom<\/strong>, from chanterelles<\/strong> (or<\/span> iadduzzeddi<\/span><\/i>) to parasol mushroom<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But underground there is an even more precious treasure. Indeed, Sicily is a land of <\/span>highly prized truffles, <\/b>that can be found all year round<\/strong> in limestone soils. The richest areas for this type of fungus are the east<\/strong> – especially in the provinces of Siracusa<\/strong> and Ragusa<\/strong> – and the west<\/strong> part of the island – above all, around the Sicani mountains<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other places where truffles can be found are Alcamo and Monte Inici<\/strong> in <\/span>Castellammare del Golfo<\/b>, in the province of Trapani<\/strong>; the Palermo<\/strong> area with Partinico<\/strong>, Cinisi<\/strong>, Ficuzza<\/strong>, Godrano<\/strong>; and the Madonie area<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every year, in autumn, many towns in Sicily organise festivals celebrating the forest’s protagonists<\/strong>. With their scents and different textures, either alone or combined with other delicious foods, they make every meal irresistible<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With easy and quick recipes<\/strong> (<\/span>ttatt\u00e0!<\/span><\/i>, as they say in Sicilian), it is possible to cook excellent dishes at home. <\/span>In the autumn menus of many typical Sicilian restaurants and trattorias<\/strong>, you will find delicious dishes<\/strong> that bring out the flavour of fresh mushrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try them in a delicious fresh egg pasta sauce (such as <\/span>pappardelle ai fughi porcini<\/strong><\/span>,<\/span><\/i> for example), in delightful arancini<\/strong>, , stuffed or pickled<\/strong> and served with rocket and parmesan cheese. You’ll be spoilt for choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy your meal.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":35200,"template":"","categories":[1920,1917,1928,1924],"luogo":[2910,2903,2932],"stagione":[1874,1876],"class_list":["post-62595","sapore","type-sapore","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entroterra-en","category-all-aperto-en","category-territorio-en","category-sapori-en","luogo-messina-en","luogo-palermo-en","luogo-trapani-en","stagione-autumn","stagione-winter"],"acf":{"sottotitolo":"","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Dettaglio","paragrafo_1":"

For those who love walking in the woods<\/strong> and trekking<\/strong>, September is the start of the mushroom season and the right time to taste tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms<\/strong> and saut\u00e9ed chanterelles<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best places for mushroom growing in Sicily are the <\/span>woods of oak, hornbeam<\/b>, <\/span>beech <\/b>and high altitude <\/span>chestnut<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the province of Messina, mushrooms grow in the Peloritani<\/strong> and Nebrodi mountains<\/strong>. In the province of Palermo<\/strong>, the Madonie Park<\/strong> and the Bosco della Ficuzza<\/strong>, Rocca Busambra<\/strong>, Bosco del Cappelliere<\/strong> and Gorgo del Drago<\/strong> natural reserves are the most suitable areas.
